Terrell Owens among Hall of Fame finalists, Jimmy Johnson is not

Receiver Terrell Owens was announced as a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2016.

Owens, who played for the Cowboys from 2006-08, is one of three first-year eligible players on the ballot. Brett Favre and Alan Faneca are the others.

Former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson did not make the cut to 15. He made the semifinalist list for the third consecutive year. He became a finalist for the first time last year.

Owens ranks sixth all-time in receptions (1,078), second in receiving yards (15,934) and receiving touchdowns (153). He made six Pro Bowls and five times was a first-team All-Pro, the only player in history to earn All-Pro with three different teams.
